com.tom_roush.pdfbox.pdfparser.BaseParser

com.tom_roush.pdfbox.pdfparser.COSParser

Direct Known Subclasses:

FDFParser, PDFParser

public class COSParser
extends BaseParser

PDF-Parser which first reads startxref and xref tables in order to know valid objects and parse only these objects. First PDFParser.parse() or FDFParser.parse() must be called before page objects can be retrieved, e.g. PDFParser.getPDDocument(). This class is a much enhanced version of QuickParser presented in PDFBOX-1104 by Jeremy Villalobos.

Constructor Detail

COSParser

public COSParser(RandomAccessRead source)

Default constructor.

Parameters:

source - input representing the pdf.

COSParser

public COSParser(RandomAccessRead source,
                 String password,
                 InputStream keyStore,
                 String keyAlias)

keyAlias - alias to be used for decryption when using public key security

Method Detail

setEOFLookupRange

public void setEOFLookupRange(int byteCount)

Sets how many trailing bytes of PDF file are searched for EOF marker and 'startxref' marker. If not set we use default value DEFAULT_TRAIL_BYTECOUNT.

We check that new value is at least 16. However for practical use cases this value should not be lower than 1000; even 2000 was found to not be enough in some cases where some trailing garbage like HTML snippets followed the EOF marker.

In case system property SYSPROP_EOFLOOKUPRANGE is defined this value will be set on initialization but can be overwritten later.

Parameters:

byteCount - number of trailing bytes

retrieveTrailer

protected COSDictionary retrieveTrailer()
                                 throws IOException

Read the trailer information and provide a COSDictionary containing the trailer information.

Returns:

a COSDictionary containing the trailer information

Throws:

IOException - if something went wrong

parseXref

protected COSDictionary parseXref(long startXRefOffset)
                           throws IOException

Parses cross reference tables.

Parameters:

startXRefOffset - start offset of the first table

Returns:

the trailer dictionary

Throws:

IOException - if something went wrong

getStartxrefOffset

protected final long getStartxrefOffset()
                                 throws IOException

Looks for and parses startxref. We first look for last '%%EOF' marker (within last DEFAULT_TRAIL_BYTECOUNT bytes (or range set via setEOFLookupRange(int)) and go back to find startxref.

Returns:

the offset of StartXref

Throws:

IOException - If something went wrong.

lastIndexOf

protected int lastIndexOf(char[] pattern,
                          byte[] buf,
                          int endOff)

Searches last appearance of pattern within buffer. Lookup before _lastOff and goes back until 0.

Parameters:

pattern - pattern to search for

buf - buffer to search pattern in

endOff - offset (exclusive) where lookup starts at

Returns:

start offset of pattern within buffer or -1 if pattern could not be found

isLenient

public boolean isLenient()

Return true if parser is lenient. Meaning auto healing capacity of the parser are used.

Returns:

true if parser is lenient

setLenient

public void setLenient(boolean lenient)

Change the parser leniency flag. This method can only be called before the parsing of the file.

Parameters:

lenient - try to handle malformed PDFs.

parseDictObjects

protected void parseDictObjects(COSDictionary dict,
                                COSName... excludeObjects)
                         throws IOException

Will parse every object necessary to load a single page from the pdf document. We try our best to order objects according to offset in file before reading to minimize seek operations.

Parameters:

dict - the COSObject from the parent pages.

excludeObjects - dictionary object reference entries with these names will not be parsed

Throws:

IOException - if something went wrong

parseObjectDynamically

protected final COSBase parseObjectDynamically(COSObject obj,
                                               boolean requireExistingNotCompressedObj)
                                        throws IOException

This will parse the next object from the stream and add it to the local state.

Parameters:

obj - object to be parsed (we only take object number and generation number for lookup start offset)

requireExistingNotCompressedObj - if true object to be parsed must not be contained within compressed stream

Returns:

the parsed object (which is also added to document object)

Throws:

IOException - If an IO error occurs.

parseObjectDynamically

protected COSBase parseObjectDynamically(long objNr,
                                         int objGenNr,
                                         boolean requireExistingNotCompressedObj)
                                  throws IOException

This will parse the next object from the stream and add it to the local state. It's reduced to parsing an indirect object.

Parameters:

objNr - object number of object to be parsed

objGenNr - object generation number of object to be parsed

requireExistingNotCompressedObj - if true the object to be parsed must be defined in xref (comment: null objects may be missing from xref) and it must not be a compressed object within object stream (this is used to circumvent being stuck in a loop in a malicious PDF)

Returns:

the parsed object (which is also added to document object)

Throws:

IOException - If an IO error occurs.

parseCOSStream

protected COSStream parseCOSStream(COSDictionary dic)
                            throws IOException

This will read a COSStream from the input stream using length attribute within dictionary. If length attribute is a indirect reference it is first resolved to get the stream length. This means we copy stream data without testing for 'endstream' or 'endobj' and thus it is no problem if these keywords occur within stream. We require 'endstream' to be found after stream data is read.

Parameters:

dic - dictionary that goes with this stream.

Returns:

parsed pdf stream.

Throws:

IOException - if an error occurred reading the stream, like problems with reading length attribute, stream does not end with 'endstream' after data read, stream too short etc.

rebuildTrailer

protected final COSDictionary rebuildTrailer()
                                      throws IOException

Rebuild the trailer dictionary if startxref can't be found.

Returns:

the rebuild trailer dictionary

Throws:

IOException - if something went wrong

checkPages

protected void checkPages(COSDictionary root)

Check if all entries of the pages dictionary are present. Those which can't be dereferenced are removed.

Parameters:

root - the root dictionary of the pdf

isCatalog

protected boolean isCatalog(COSDictionary dictionary)

Tell if the dictionary is a PDF catalog. Override this for an FDF catalog.

Parameters:

dictionary -

Returns:

true if the given dictionary is a root dictionary

parsePDFHeader

protected boolean parsePDFHeader()
                          throws IOException

Parse the header of a pdf.

Returns:

true if a PDF header was found

Throws:

IOException - if something went wrong

parseFDFHeader

protected boolean parseFDFHeader()
                          throws IOException

Parse the header of a fdf.

Returns:

true if a FDF header was found

Throws:

IOException - if something went wrong

parseXrefTable

protected boolean parseXrefTable(long startByteOffset)
                          throws IOException

This will parse the xref table from the stream and add it to the state The XrefTable contents are ignored.

Parameters:

startByteOffset - the offset to start at

Returns:

false on parsing error

Throws:

IOException - If an IO error occurs.

getDocument

public COSDocument getDocument()
                        throws IOException

This will get the document that was parsed. The document must be parsed before this is called. When you are done with this document you must call close() on it to release resources.

Returns:

The document that was parsed.

Throws:

IOException - If there is an error getting the document.

getEncryption

public PDEncryption getEncryption()
                           throws IOException

Returns:

The access permission of document that was parsed.

Throws:

IOException - If there is an error getting the document.

parseTrailerValuesDynamically

protected COSBase parseTrailerValuesDynamically(COSDictionary trailer)
                                         throws IOException
